retro active.

I snagged this orange A-line skirt on sale at H&M recently.  I usually wear pencil skirts, but the flare and color on this little guy was too fun to pass up.  Topped off with a pair of cat eye sunglasses and I’m feeling all kinds of retro.

After two weeks of finals, I’m back!  And although I’ve been busy … “studying,” I also made time for some retail therapy and stocked up on sweaters and other much needed cold weather gear.  Seriously, what I have been wearing for the past 25 winters?

One of my favorite finds are these tweed shorts from H&M.  Tweed is such a cool winter texture, but can sometimes look a little granny (loooove you grandma). So make it more youthful by pairing tweed shorts or a miniskirt with tights and chunky heeled boots.

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost December when it was a sunny 80°F yesterday. This weekend, I picked up a few thick-knit sweaters for the winter, but also grabbed this fun, lightweight version to tide me over during this crazy summer-fall-winter limbo.  I promise you, there’ll come a time where I’m not wearing shorts this “winter.”
